Here’s what I need to do:
Our site has exactly one product for dsale. We are using magento as a glorified CMS with a built-in cart, and we are selling the one product. What we need is to have a callout in the left column of a 3 column layout that has this product’s name, picture, price, link to the detail page, quantity input, and an ad to cart button. The idea is that site users can add the product to the cart from any page on the site.

Any ideas? I am guessing this requires a way to call the individual item by its unique ID, but I’m kinda lost in building the callout.
